DIY Felt Heart Treat Pouch for Valentine's Day

Looking for ideas of felt Valentine's Day crafts? Here's a DIY felt heart treat pouch that's handsewn; the perfect project for kids or adults!

Materials

Instructions

  • Print out the heart pouch templates from the Resource Library, and cut them out.
  • Using the two template pieces, cut out two felt pieces in colors of your choice.
  • Cut a long section of baker’s twine, and thread the embroidery needle.
    You’re ready to hand-stitch the two felt pieces together!
  • Use a pin or two to hold the felt pieces together so they don’t slide around while hand-sewing them together.
    Using a simple running stitch, sew around the edge of the heart with the baker’s twine and needle.
  • Continue around the whole perimeter of the heart.
    Knot and trim the excess twine when you're finished.
  • Check to ensure there aren’t any stray threads and everything is secure.
    You have now made a cute heart pouch where you can slide in a treat of your choice!

Notes

  • Find felt at any craft store or online retailer like Amazon. It comes in pre-cut rectangles or you can buy it off the bolt in the fabric section. Choose whichever colors you like best.
  • Use sharp scissors to get smooth edges when you cut out the heart shapes. 
  • Add a small piece of candy or snack to the inside pouch of the heart for a Valentine's Day treat!
